We have looked at food groups and their effects on our bodies in the previous 9 pages. With this information and the 2 tables below, you can start to plan your very own healthy eating program.
For those who have struggled with weight gain and have had difficulty in keeping to a reduction diet, now is your chance to tailor a diet specific to your needs.
If you will be making big changes to your diet, you will be doing so on the understanding that you have enough reasons to want to live with a Healthier, Lighter body and that you are motivated enough to make those changes for yourself.
Initially it won't be easy, especially if you eat a lot of Fast Carbohydrates, but almost immediately your blood sugar/insulin levels will start to stabilise and you will feel the benefits of this alone. If your body is used to the frequent "Carbo Fix" you will get strong cravings for fast carbs, but make sure that you eat adequate Slow Carbohydrates along with a balanced diet and keep focused on your target weight loss and eventually these cravings will subside. You and your determination will ride through this bumpy patch, so hold on tight.......
Please read page 9, The 15 Props of Successful Weight Loss. It will guide you and help prepare you for this adventure.
